Carbenska2026 is part of a continuing series of meetings organized within the broader carbon materials and carbon MEMS research communities. These meetings have been developed to provide a focused forum for sharing advances, discussing challenges, and fostering collaboration across academia and industry. Over time, the conference series has built a strong and engaged community of recurring participants while remaining open to new research groups and industrial partners. Carbenska2026 continues this tradition by maintaining a well-defined technical scope and an interactive meeting format that supports meaningful scientific exchange and long-term collaboration.
